                    [Summary] => The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is willing to extend for another three months the deadline for the National Power Corp. (Napocor) to work out a transition supply contract (TSC) with Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).


In an interview, ERC Chairperson Fe Barin said in case the two power firms fail to submit their contract within the prescribed deadline of end-September this year, "they could ask for an extension."


Napocor has submitted to the ERC a list of distribution utilities with which it has TSC, the list contains 28 names but no Meralco.
